Nokia 3110 problem

i bought Nokia 3110 classic in last november. after using for few days i am facing a weird problem, i set my ringtone & sms tone to a custom tone which is stored in my memory card. Now some times it happens that the ringtone & sms tone changes to default nokia tone automatically (not changing the profile or removing the memory card). does any one knows why this things happens & is there any solution for this.

the problem is not only with 3110. this happens with my n73me also .. but rarely. this is a generic problem with most symbian phones. sometimes during a incoming call/sms, if there is a delay in reading the memory card for the set ringtone ... the default tone is played ... the coz of this delay is not known to me either.

hai fren...im a Nokia 3110 user...as U said that d tones which U set 4m d memory card are inaccessible sometimes....so better dont keep the files that are 4m the memory card...do choose the files stored in phone memory so that they do not change....

Those who still have this restarting problem on Nokia 3110c ... Im telling the solution again, step by step.
It ll work . you dont need to go 4 the new firmware

If ur phone restarted 3 or 4 times and switched off automatically. Try this
method
1] Remove the battery and Micro SD card
2] wait about 5 minutes
3] Then switch On the phone WITHOUT the memory card

Now ur phone working well without restarting

4] Then you must restore Factory settings frm the Settings Menu
[default security code:12345]
{i know most of people have done this thing,but remember u have 2 go
with the correct order.Unless it will not work.OK}

I am a 3110i C user... my phone would Switch off at its will and it did show various malfunctioning.. I always had my problem solved by updating the software and sometimes by Formatting my memory card...
The phone's not that bad, its economic and 'classic'... :001_tongue:
Nokia care sholud take care of it. Its fine if it comes under warranty or v can always update it wi 'pc suite'. It does'nt come wi this phone tho..

when, i replaced my micro sd with the desi one..it had Nokia's own 512mb card free with it, but i wasnt satisfied with it, and know what? brought a R.P (brand)card, so it started to kick my phone after 4-5 months.. phone started to reboot by itself..

i had some films as 3gp videos in that micro sd, and whenever i tried to go inside the videos, and reached these films, the phone restarted as soon i wanted to see the thumbnail of the movies and select them to view..

it was making the things crazy, and finally one day the card became a problem.
